    Has anyone had any experience buying from aliexpress and the item works for while e.g. 6 months and becomes faulty ? Is there a warranty on dahua cameras ? Is it international so I can take it to a local vendor for a swap out or is it simply a case of sucking it up and buying another.

That's not directly contactable over IP but the NVR however is . If you turn off the router, the NVR and cameras will still...

    Thanks Del boy. I already have the 1 tb drives. When you say there will be some charge on that. I assume I will be hit with some import duty ? Is there an NVR that you recommend ?
